Heres something that other Halo's kind of have. But on a full-on-Scale effect it can make Halo Reach the GAME (oh wait sorry) and wipe out many of it's "enemies"

Something we all have seen before, and maybe even thought of. OPTIONS!!!!

I mean one thing that makes Halo so good is how OPEN it is. You can turn Halo into almost anything. You can take off Shields and make it more tactical, or you can put on OverShields and 4x health or w/e and go around tricking. Something almost NO other game has.

But Reach can do better. Having more options. Forge with better "controls". And more otpions from everything from Gravity to Day/Night controls.

So here's a small tid-bid of ideas that could work

1-Health/SHields-have a full list of diferent ways of changing Health and SHields. Want to make your guy withstand 20 rockets...DO IT. Want your guy to die from a single needler shot...DO IT.

2-Gravity-Yes, but unlike Halo3 this will effect EVERYTHING. Vehicles will be flying, banshees will be crashing, and rockets....well haha you can imigine.

3-Speed_
Player-How fast you run, like Halo3, but more controls
Environment-The environment will go faster/Slower
Objects-vehicles, grenades, anything you use/interact with will be effected

4-Individual Weapon/Grenade Options_
Damage-How much "X" weapon does.
Ammo-How much ammo.
Firing Rate-How fast it shoots. Not all weapons will be able to fire 10000 RPM, but having an auto-sniper rifle is kinda badass XD

And plus add options to Campaign.


And in the end having a game you can transform to anything from Realistic to "WOO jackass" will win.

i particularly like suggestions 3 and 4

Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
D&D Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Political Alignment: Social Democracy (Left)
Favourite Book: Jurassic Park
Favourite Film: The Dark Knight
Favourite Game: Mass Effect 2
Preferred Weapon: Franchi SPAS-12

This is exactly what Reach needs. I would probably give everyone really high health and then make it a gametype for ultra sword duelling =D

(I loled at the comment you had on the Auto-sniper rifle XD)

Don't send me group invites unless i know you. pl0x.

After all of the options they've added to each successive Halo game, I'd expect some additional options that are similar to these. Being able to modify an individual weapon's characteristic would be amazing.

Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the Ark.

Are there any experienced suicide bombers?

Democrats are like slinkies there not good for anything but when your push them down the stairs they make you smile

i agree i think that would make the game more enjoyable for everyone the hardcore fans will still have the classic halo feel and the more casual fans can enjoy more options for playing with their friends

Want to see advanced Halo stats not offered by other Halo stat websites? Check out MetaHalo.com, the stats website I am working on. Reach stats currently in development.

Like BTB? Check out bigteambattle.net!

I would not be surprised to see some of these options in Reach. S

Yea I'm sure they will have some great options. And I think they should add some more for Single Player, and FireFight.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

I like customisation. So I support the thread in general. But these?
Environment-The environment will go faster/Slower
Objects-vehicles, grenades, anything you use/interact with will be effected

What do you mean?

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

you can do that now

I also think it would be nice to force armor classifications. You know, make one team spartans and the other team elites. I'd also like the option to make people spawn with weapons without ammo or no weapons at all.

I'd love to have more custom game controls. So much freedom, you could almost create your own multiplayer experience.

You're a genius. Bungie should hire you right now

I believe a more 'formal' level editor would be the way to go in terms of customization.

I remember reading a great idea on improving on the forge. It dealt with something like an object creator. Where you create your own 'objects' and use those objects to be placed on a map.

Say you could create a part of a base, and designate it as an 'object'. This way it can be placed easily on different parts of the map (making symmetrical maps easier to make).

Also a 'forge weapon idea' i read that was stickied.

Those were good ideas in terms of customizability
